OK. Given Roberto's comments from this thread -- "When we mirrored that apparently someone was using oooextras. Now it's free to use, so we can easily replace http://sourceforge.net/projects/oooextras.mirror/files/?source=directory with http://sourceforge.net/projects/oooextras Also our engineering team is finalizing few changes, hope to be able to share a brand new Apache Extras landing page very soon. Roberto" and I saw that -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/oooextras.mirror/files/?source=directory this contained our "extras" (a mirror of it), I thought we might be ready. But I do see that the newly proposed name -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/oooextras is not ready. I don't know what the other projects are using Apache Extras for or how they have things setup -- real repository or mirror. It does seem that perhaps AOO only needs a mirror, and not an actual repository. > > Apache Extras in itself is foundation-wide, but only a few projects so > far have expressed concerns about the policy change that is making it > useless for OpenOffice in future. > > Regards, > Andrea. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star." -- Friedrich Nietzsche
